B. 6 + 68 – Performance- @ 1 pood
1st Round all DUs
2nd-6th Round 50 Singles… couldn’t string DUs together but wanted to get a good workout in so switched to singles…
Push ups were an elbow killer… Should have done Fitness!!!!

A. 55# – felt a little twinge in my shoulder at the end of the 10. Thought I was done with that business!
B. 5+35 blue kb American swings (can’t remember how much that one is?) and mostly double unders! The last round was mostly (failed) attempts but they were going pretty smoothly otherwise…I’m sold on the Again Faster rope. Really liked this workout!

Performance
A. 65#, really worked on form and keeping my elbows up
B. 5 rounds-did 10 DU attempts (am only able to string 2 together so far), then 60 singles, 12 kg (blue tape) kettle bell. did American Swings instead of russian swings so I went lighter than 1 pood.

A. Banded pull-ups (green bands) were not a problem. I’ll have to go for the next size down next time. Focused on form and maintaining a hollow, braced core during the pull-ups. I was almost able to do all the push-ups but the last two sets I had to move my hands out to get them all done.

B. 8+50. Felt better than I expected afterward, but I went light on the KB weight (blue) and focused exclusively on form. I had a little LBP in the beginning of the Russian swings, but found that concentrating on a braced core/squeezed butt/knees out prevented all the LBP completely. Avoided hyper-extending the hips (so not much “hip-snappiness” to my swings) but did try to perform the full hip flexion for the KB swing. Hoping tomorrow everything is good. So far things are fine.

Was a fun workout and I think all the core work and mobility from the past 5-6 weeks have really helped.

Perfomance
A: 75# – barely made the last two reps. Couldn’t do it with 85#
B. 3+60 SUs I think I had 3 complete sets, might have been 4. Wasted a couple minutes on the “10 DU buy-in”. Never hit that, so gave up and went on. Started with American swings, but abandoned for Russians in the middle of the 2nd set – wasn’t quite getting up to the top.. Used “yellow” bell, whatever pood that is.
